Racing Tips at Navan | Irish NH Tips

This four-year-old daughter of Doyen was a winner of an Irish point to point in March and realised the eye watering sum of £410,000 when she went through the sales ring at Cheltenham during festival week. She now runs in the silks of Kenny Alexander and I'm sure connections will be hoping this could be yet another high-class mare they've had through their hands.

She was a good winner on point debut and obviously has the looks to go with a fair deal of talent. Point form can be hit and miss but all the right judges say this could be something special and yet, the world is her oyster, hopefully it still is come 12:05 on Saturday. She shouldn't be far away on this her hurdles and rules debut.

This imposing son of Walk In The Park is still exposed over fences having just four chase starts to his name last season which culminated in a good fourth in the Grand Annual over two miles at the Cheltenham Festival. He didn't really have the tactical speed required on the day in that calibre of handicap off of a mark of 145 that day but he will have learned plenty for that experience.

The step up in trip here should be right up his street and his seasonal debut over hurdles last time and this track three weeks ago should have put him spot on for this. He’s still unexposed at the trip and I expect it to bring out plenty of improvement in him. I suspect he should take a lot of beating, and I find it impossible to keep him out of the frame.

This son of Shantou has always had a tall reputation without ever really fulfilling his potential but there is still plenty time for that. He's very unexposed with just the five runs to his name, two in bumpers and three over hurdles so far in his career. He's a real thorough stayer and I suspect this extended 3m 1f trip should bring out loads of improvement in him.

He's a big old boat essentially and the test of this trip on a galloping track like Navan should be right up his street. Time will prove he’s much better than his 128 rating and with a racing weight of 10st 13lb minus Carl Millars 5lb claim taking him down to just 10st 8lb he will take some stopping. I find him very hard to oppose.
